This is an ASL example from a HP nx9420.
The first part tries to evaluate the OS with the old
\_OS method (you can already fake the OS with acpi_os_name="Microsoft
Windows"). The second part makes use of the new _OSI function.
Overriding the _OSI provided string by OS was not yet implemented, that
is what the patch does.
For this BIOS it already was possible to fake the OS string for
"Microsoft Windows", "Microsoft WindowsME: Millennium Edition",
"Microsoft Windows NT" by e.g.:
acpi_osi="" acpi_os_name="Microsoft Windows"
now you also can (currently it would use "Windows 2001 SP2") also fake
e.g.:
acpi_osi="Windows 2006" (acpi_os_name="" -> not explicitly needed
here, maybe on other AML implementations)
------------------------------------------------------------
Name (C015, Package (0x03)
{
"Microsoft Windows",
"Microsoft WindowsME: Millennium Edition",
"Microsoft Windows NT"
})
...
Store (\_OS, Local0)
Store (SizeOf (C015), Local7)
Store (0x00, Local1)
While (LAnd (LLess (Local1, Local7), LEqual (C014, 0xFFFFFFFD)))
{
Store (\C011 (Local0, DerefOf (Index (C015, Local1))), Local2)
If (Local2)
{
Add (Local1, 0x01, C014)
}
Else
{
Increment (Local1)
}
}
If (LEqual (C014, 0xFFFFFFFD))
{
Store (0x00, C014)
}
If (LOr (LEqual (C014, 0x00), LEqual (C014, 0x03)))
{
If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0))
{
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))
{
Store (0x04, C014)
}
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1"))
{
Store (0x04, C014)
}
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2"))
{
Store (0x05, C014)
}
If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
{
Store (0x06, C014)
}
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------
The patch is based on a SUSE 2.6.16.21 kernel. There shouldn't have
changed that much. It needs manual modifications as it touches ACPICA
code anyway.
Allow acpi_osi="Winows XY" overrides
Nearly all BIOSes have special code paths for special Windows
OS verions. This patch tells ACPI BIOS parts which OS it should
assume and might workaround BIOS issues.
